Answer 1

Hint: The meaning of the word that is given in the question, seldom, refers to happening or occurrence that is very rare.

Complete answer:

In the given question we have been given a word and we need to find the most appropriate opposite to the given word from the given options. To choose the correct opposite it is essential to know the meaning of the given word. The word seldom refers to something that does not happen very frequently.
Now, let us take a look at the meaning of each word from the given options and find the word that is the most accurate opposite to the given word.
Option ‘A’, occasionally, refers to something that occurs in intervals.
Option ‘B’, frequently, refers to something that occurs very often.
Option ‘C’, continuously, refers to something that happens all the time, without any interruptions or gaps.
Option ‘D’, rarely, refers to something that hardly ever happens.
From the above options, we can see that option ‘A’ and ‘D’ are incorrect as they have a meaning similar to that of the given word. Option ‘C’ is incorrect as it is not the exact opposite of the given word.
Hence, the correct answer to the given question is option ‘B’ frequently, as it is an exact opposite of the word ‘seldom’.

Note: Use the elimination method and remove the words that you think are least likely to be right, in order to reach the final answer. This must be used if the meanings of the options given in the question are not clear to you. This will aid you to reach a solution.
